英文摘要 | Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences preserves an Apollo lunar soil sample (E21) However, it is still unclear which mission returned the sample. In this paper, we conduct a preliminary petrological study on this soil to trace its source. This sample consists of basalt clasts, breccia clasts, and glass spheres. The basalt clasts have mineral constitutions, microtextures, and compositions similar to mare basalt. It is further confirmed that the studied clasts belong to high-Ti mare basalt, according to the high modal abundance of ilmenite (average similar to 14. 8vol%), bulk TiO2 content (average similar to 10. 5%), and Ti concentrations (average similar to 1000 x 10(-6)) in the early crystallized olivine (Fo(72)). The scarce highlands materials and high K2O contents in some basalt clasts indicate that the E21 sample was most likely sourced from Apollo 11 soils. Two lithic clasts dominated by orthopyroxene and plagioclase are identified as highlands norite, based on bulk rock and low-Ca pyroxene composition. Trace element composition of olivine indicates that the parental magma of high-Ti basalt has low concentrations of Ni, Cr, and P. This feature may result from the depletion of such elements in its mantle source or the assimilation of shallow, low Ni and Cr components. The Apollo 11 soil E21 would have implications for our understanding of the early evolutionary history of the Moon and provides a good comparable sample for the Chang'e-5 lunar soils. |
